Pickled Egg Quiz

ABBA, surely!

Good point Steve!!

Heardle got it in 4 seconds, recognised it at 2 Thought that's someone sampling a few bars from Streetlife

The start of this official vid for the single is pretty pretty similar to the heardle answer. The longer version on the album has a lovely bit of build up from Randy Crawford cut for the single version.

Single version of Streetlife

Under the rules I set for myself, you missed an open goal there Mick. Simple use of the tools provided by the game.
Nail the song you get the artist every time and pretty much vice versa too although there may be more options.

Bingo only 3 letters required

Ok thanks Neil. I'll give that a go if I ever recognise another tune! Problem I have is the motor memory between my eyes and mouse hand - if the eyes read heardle the hand automatically selects 'skip'!

Thanks Mick will give it a go as ever, and lets have a few joiners in. I'm in the category which I describe as "I know nowt about films" so I'm not expecting too many top of the head answers so the task will call for a little bit of research

45 certain points. Now I have 7 answers on the card for the last question and you haven't named any of them so while your answers may well be correct they don't get any points!! Up to you if you want to try for the points!!

That will give you the full house Neil, well done 55/55.
However believe it or not that list only includes 6 of the 7 on my card. So there is still a film to be found and I'll award a bonus 10 if you can find it!!

I didn't screen print the full list on either Mick so it will be one of the older ones.

Here's one for you...who voices the green goblin one of Spiderman's greatest enemies in the animated movie known as Spiderman-Into the Spider-verse in the UK, but as Spiderman-New Generation in France.

Clue he used to turn out for your team

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

My search revealed Jorma Taccone as the voice of Green Goblin but I don't see the connection with my team?
Aah! You mean in the French version, Olivier Giroud!! Maintenant j'il comprende!!
